On Friday, I learned how to crochet. I have spent all my time since then looping away. The above pic was a moment when I put the hook down to engage in some yarn performance art. I was going to cover both hands together with the yarn, but I got dizzy and had to stop. Tom was a good sport about it.
The first thing I made was a dishcloth, just to get in the habit. I gave it to my friend, Mad Joe.
This doohickey came about while I was experimenting with the 3-d techniques that drew me to this craft in the first place. I also made a dog collar with the same yarn.
I stretched a tiny ball of yarn into this little drawstring bag for another friend, Dan. It'd be perfect for dice, but I don't think he's a gamer. I'm sure he'll find something to put in it.
Once I figured out the true usefulness of crochet, I started a modification for my bag.
Two pockets on the inside should help if from just being a bottomless pit, and I'll probably add more in the future.
There will be more crochet tonight, but not by me. I'm taking Christy her work from last week, and we'll see what she makes. Hopefully it won't distract her so much that we get last place in trivia again. We'll see.
